From Kim and Kris to Vanessa and Nick, the couples who made it—and the ones who weren't so lucky

They said it wouldn't last—and they were right. After 72 days, Kim Kardashian's fairy-tale marriage to Kris Humphries did not have a happy ending. Those who tuned in to E's two-part four-hour special—which the network re-aired this week to capitalize on the divorce announcement —got a glimpse of trouble even before the couple walked down the aisle. "I have been planning my wedding since I was 10 years old!" Kim shouted at Kris. His charming response? "And you could just slot any guy into it!" Which is apparently true, as a source close to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians production told Radar Online, "It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start. Kim was looking for a husband, and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn't really into him, but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings. But it never happened." So he was canceled.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

The marriage of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt has had all the classic plot twists—a fake elopement, a made-for-TV wedding (which she later deemed "a nightmare"), a fake separation (to boost her career), and an eventual renewal of wedding vows. "It's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Pratt said after the third ceremony. "Last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings." The couple then released a wedding photo to the media.
